     Dear Dr. Schlesinger:

          The General Accounting Office has reviewed selected as-
     pects of the chemistry research program of the Atomic Energy
     I Commission (AEC)_. The review was directed toward developing7/
   information concerning the manner in which the program was
     being managed and toward evaluating the administrative prac-    q
     tices exercised by AEC and two of its contractor-operated
     laboratories--Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and Oak
     Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

          During fiscal years 1970 and 1971, operating costs for
     the chemistry research program amounted to about $53.9 mil-
     lion and $51.4 million, respectively. Program operating
     costs applicable to LBL and ORNL are shown below.

                     LBL         $10.0       $10.0
                     ORNL         13.8        13.5

          Our review showed that certain aspects of the administra-
     tion and management of the chemistry research program appeared
     to be quite similar to aspects of the administration and man-
     agement of AEC's biomedical research program which was the
     subject of our report to the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy
     on Administration and Management of the Biology and Medicine
     Research Program (B-165117, April 16, 1969).

          The administration and management of both the biomedical
     and the chemistry programs are carried out by AEC Headquarters,
     although the actual research for both programs is conducted
     through onsite and offsite programs. The onsite biomedical and
     chemistry programs are carried out at ABC's national laboratories
